Up Next: The rest of the week will feature a continuation of the hot and dry pattern. Afternoon high temperatures will likely reach the century mark through Friday. In doing so, 2024 will climb the charts as one of the hottest summers on record and, specifically, crack the top five for most 100 degree days in a year.

Debby is expected to produce potentially historic rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of 25 inches, bringing areas of catastrophic flooding across portions of the eastern half of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina through Friday.
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located over the east-central Caribbean Sea have diminished in coverage and intensity since this morning.

Environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development later this week as the system moves across the western Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico.
